Hey T Plush! Was there in '11 for the walk-off "tickle" single. Awesome. I might be nuts on the 30 SB but I think Yelich might just make the change and be the speedy player and not concern self with dingers. If he decides to focus on SBs with the limited throws over, rule change maybe he takes advantage. As far as .310, yeah my coffee intake may have influenced unreasonable optimism...but, with no shift .290 is a possibility if 15 of his 90th percentile hard hits become singles and 94th percentile BB rate holds or climbs. Here's hoping for something approaching the age 40 Rickey Henderson type season. In the meantime, feel free to grab a box of Kleenex and watch The Night They Drove Old Yeli Down. Peace!

Appreciate the emphasis on Yelich's speed. Advancing bases efficiently (stealing 30 and consistently scoring from 2nd, 1st to 3rd, infield singles, etc.) can become Yeli's jam. And if he rakes 35 doubles, hits .310 and get on base at .360 clip, I think we're beyond solid with him as leadoff LF/DH. Thanks for digging in!
